Hi friends,
I made some drawings for a new layout's supposed to gaggle. I'll work more on the idea, but follows some screens that I did. Programmers need to know if there is the possibility of doing it in this format?
thanks

Looks good, though I don't know if the data fields and vario need to be in white boxes. If the fonts were outlined and fairly thick then they should be visible overlaid on the map. That way you would lose less map area. Also, you could then give the option to display many more data fields and still see the map.

The idea is to make a simple touch of the screen, leave the map clean, and play again, the widgets appear. The pilot could choose which data you'd like on your screen and thus customize the widgets is the same with his own android.
Future could be added bluetooth function, making your flight the pilot to interact with other pilots, sharing thermals.

Fantastic I love it. I'm looking for an Android Pad with large screen and hopefully a barometer chip, anyone have any ideas??

From experience with having flown with XCSoar and Gaggle all of the 2011 season, I'd say it's important to have the option of having one screen that has everything needed. While I did sew silver thread into my glove to be able to use the touch screen with gloves on, I didn't do that on my heavy over-gloves and I really don't want to be messing with the instrument much while flying.

It's the same with the 6030 - while i can switch screens on it, I don't 90% of the time.

If you could create templates for gaggle would be perfect. So many people could help create themes as they believe it's great, beautiful.
This thought was that I created the difficulty in seeing the data.
But it depends on the programmers, to wish I could help with this part, butunfortunately I do not know anything about programming.
If you have anything I can do, count me out.

I all - Thank you for the feedback (and great mock-ups).  I'll try to add a vario bar soon, and add the ability to make the map fields customizable.  This weekend was mostly small bug fixes, I should have a new release out later today.

Hello Kevin, nice to ...
The problem is the viewing size of fonts on a black background (white background with black font makes it easier).
And the sound of the vario, which in my opinion is the priority.
I wait anxiously ...
I suggest creating a manual, I started creating here to help with the project.
